in Movies & Television
Good point gmitran. I still think Penn is the pick though, and nice value at +120 or so.

True, they should have a category for best acting in a gay/retard/holocaust role and a separate category for everyone else.

Good value on Penn at +120. The public loves Rourke because of the comeback storyline, but the academy voters will prefer Penn for the reasons you mentioned.

This is probably a movie only for people who are really fascinated by Dylan and his persona(s). It is far, far better than any of the movies Dylan has been directly involved in, but that's a very low standard (anybody seen Hearts Of Fire ... ouch).
Cate Blanchett and Heath Ledger were good, but some of the other portrayals just flat out did not ring true for me. Christian Bale played protest-era Dylan as if he was a sullen, over burdened young man who was anything but dynamic in front of an audience. The actor who played a Rimbaud obsessed version of Dylan recreated him as some kind of annoying, dilettante literary snob. I don't even know what to say about the Richard Gere portion of the film. It's much more interesting to go on YouTube and watch clips of Dylan in interviews if you ask me. A perfect example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-iFZbrzYb4 |

Charlie Rose had a couple film critics on his show last week and they both thought Penn had a much better chance of winning than Mickey Rourke.
The academy won't give Milk the best picture award so they'll have to give Penn best actor in order to pat themselves on the back for being such enlightened supporters of gay rights. |

you're getting an absolute gift on that rangers team total. they've played like pure shit but got a super weak goal on labarbera and then scored on a penalty shot. They should be down 3-0 the way the kings have dominated them.

Yeah, but what is the average price on the puckline for a home dog ... probably around -270. You have to win 73% of your bets at -270 to break even so there isn't much value there. |

Red Wings lost to Toronto after the banner raising ceremony on their opening night this year.

I think it has a totally random effect, could help or hurt depending on the players and teams involved. Definitely don't think anybody should be making this a huge play based on that angle alone.

I don't want to take this too far, because I'm not trying to bash you or be a dick or anything. But, come on, it's just silly to post 200 units worth of plays in one night.
I hope you keep making good picks, but I hope I don't see a bunch of people start posting 15 unit, 25 unit, 100 unit plays in the NHL forum like they do in the NBA forum. That has nothing to do with smart handicapping and money management. |

They had been streaking and had beat Anaheim the night before too. The Kings blew Wash out that night, and will beat the Rangers tonight. |

I'm going to add Edm +150.
I rarely make three plays in the same day, but that's just the way it worked out. |

I already checked your NHL threads. Like I said, you make good picks, good job, but something is just not right with your logic regarding units. Either that or you are intentionally making up a huge total to get attention.
You never listed unit sizes with the bets you made in the NHL from october through mid december. You had a good record, but not nearly good enough to gain 220 units unless you were betting like 50 units a game. It's not a big deal, go ahead and post what you want, but if you're trying to be honest and make this forum better, then create a reasonable and logical way to record your results. I am up 5.28 units on my picks on this forum. That means anyone betting $100 a pop on each of my 31 plays would have made $528. You're suggesting that if someone had followed your 8 plays, betting $100 at a time they would be up $22,000. That makes no sense. Add to that the fact that you posted like 25 or 30 NHL picks earlier this year and then suddenly started with your record back at 5-0 a few days ago. It just looks suspicious, especially when you try to convince people to follow you. |

Dude, you seem to post smart picks so good for you, but stop saying you're up 220 units. You just look like an idiot or a pathetic attention seeker.
Don't tell me it's correct because I already checked you're archive and it's BS. |
